For the assignment, I attended the Photoville which was situated around Brooklyn Bridge Park. To my luck, the sunny weather illuminated each photograph printed on large signs. Each photographer I encountered in the Photoville maze had their own story to tell which I found fascinating. Focusing on the pandemic and discrimination, a lot of the photographs were focused on current topics in 2020.
One of the photographers Haruka Sakaguchi which was a Japanese documentary photographer in Brooklyn captured anti-Asian discrimination and racism within the rise of the pandemic. The encounters the people she photographed described were of horror to me and made me feel aggravated at the ignorance of others in New York and the fact that racism is still alive in New York. The exhibition was truly impactful.
